Luxury Safaris in Linyanti
Linyanti
Once part of a great inland lake, the Linyanti region is now dominated by water habitats. Its wide, permanent rivers and sprawling floodplains not only support a wide range of wildlife (matching that of the Okavango Delta) but also provide one of the best bird-watching experiences in Southern Africa. A Morning or afternoon safari here will deliver excellent game-viewing, including close encounters with the Big 5 and nocturnal wildlife.
Linyanti at a glance
Wildlife
Hundreds of miles from civilization, the Linyanti is a pristine wilderness area that hosts some of the largest herds of elephants, a high density of predators including lions, leopards, and a good number of African Wild Dogs. You should also expect to see large pods of hippos and crocodiles lining the river banks, along with many regional rarities and superb raptors.
Landscape
Being the place where the Linyanti River meets the Savuti Channel, Linyanti is one of Botswana’s most diverse habitats and a haven for wildlife- with its expansive grasslands, floodplains, mopane woodlands, and Indigenous, dense forests around the Linyanti River and Savuti Channel.
